What the inequality of wealth brings is inequality of power. Those at the top of the food chain can make and enforce decisions that benefit them financially.
The reason some people have influence over government is not that they are wealthy, its because some people in government are for sale.
The solution to that is not to create more government, you fucking retards.
My guess is the crows eventually discover the loop
10 Groundskeepers regularly empty the "butt collectors" into garbage bags and move them to a dumpster somewhere.
20 The crows then raid that dumpsters, opening all the bags, and taking everything they deposited into the "butt collectors"
30 GOTO 10
There is a psychological tendency for short sellers to play for too high a stakes.
Unlike going long the full amount you have at risk is essentially every last dollar that you still havent thrown at shorting yet. This is true both when only 20% of your portfolio is short as well as when 100% of your portfolio is short. The maximum amount at risk is always everything, It is this fact that I think causes the psychological tendency to play for too high a stakes.
In Musk's position, I would want to depose the short-sellers.
If the shorters have the cash available to cover, then all Musk has done is made an even better shorting opportunity. On the other hand if Musk knew that the target(s) were already riding on the edge of ruin then it makes sense to give them a nice little push over the edge.
Secured does not mean that the money is committed to anything other than being where it is, and absolutely does not mean "irrevocable".. what you are talking about is a secured loan maybe.. but why the FUCK would you be talking about those?
Seems to me that you dont know what you are talking about regardless of anything else. Doesnt matter what the explanation is. You are full of shit right now because the subject is secured funding, not secured loans. Period.
I remember those times when they were spending their subsidies. It created most of the cable internet the country still has. Maybe they should have spent more, but I'm getting sick of people saying nothing came of it. Pretty much every new cable ISP was an "@HOME" which was the moniker for these subsidies.
Started here at 1 mbps down and I guess 64 kbps up. Now I am at 80 mbps down and 10mbps up. Lowest tier package.
The local cable franchise has changed hands 3 times since then and thats the FUCKING KEY. You dont get the monopoly deal here in rural new england unless you provide good service. If you dont, you will be out.... soon.
All day long we see California retards complaining about their shitty fucking internet and are constantly crying that the federal government should do something about it. NO. JUST FUCKING NO. Not a one of them has ever posted anything about any cable franchise agreement being up, about any town comptroller or similar that is in charge of signing new agreements, etc. Not fucking once. Not ever. Not here on slashdot.
Always a bunch of fucking crying for the most removed government apparatus possible to throw its weight around. ITS YOUR LOCAL PROBLEM YOU FUCKS. FIND A LOCAL SOLUTION YOU FUCKS. WE DID. WHY CANT YOU?
Its not about what we care about. Its about what Tesla/Musk cares about. You are desperately grasping at straws to mis-characterize the situation as something we care about.
Fact:
I've made 58.73% (as of now) on my Tesla stock over three years, purchased at $239.13.
Except when you just imagine another term for your model, instead of identify another term for your model.... there is then no proven and disproven. There is only the eternal theory and the quest for a model that finally fits it.
If not surprising, then you showed skill at prediction.
The nice thing about the STEM side of things is being able to show skill at prediction. The Liberal Arts side of things doesn't. The former group tries to model the world as it is, the later on how they imagine it is.
For instance if you thought Trump had no chance of winning the last presidential election, then your model of the universe was grossly wrong. Far wronger than can be patched up by adding "russian collusion" to the model.
It probably ALSO includes a photographic printer (for high-res, high-quality copies)
OK I'm with you
which would increase the complexity and weight quite a bit.
oh.. on second thought... not with you at all. We are talking about a purchase in 1998, not 1978. The complexity of printers had already been reduced to being disposable cartridge.
What may be on their grossly expensive device is a way to force people to pay for their copies. A slot for quarters, a bill reader, etc. Now we are talking about weight because we are talking about security. I imagine many of the public libraries in the country have/had a film reader like this.
The fools in this case were obviously up-sold to the largest most fancy model.
Its a projector. These fools picked up a 500lb projector for "$16,000 in 1998." When its put like that, there doesnt seem to be much of a story here. Its more of a lesson.
They have no duty to go through their logs and take action against one of their customers at the request of corporations in hollywood and memphis, nor a duty to provide those logs to corporations in hollywood and memphis, nor a duty to protect corporations in hollywood and memphis.
Encrypted wireless link with extra DRM to ensure only the one owner can ever listen.
This is what concerns me. When you get all the way down to it, wireless means public. It does not matter that it cannot be decrypted now if it can still be decrypted sooner or later, and pretty much nobody can be sure that none of the devices in their home arent already slurping up and transmitting every bit of bluetooth it can to a 3 letter agency, corporation, or creepy neighbor.
The federal government (U.S.) owns enough land to give each citizen several acres. The free market doesnt exist because the governments power continues to trump it. The answer isnt giving the government more power, because that too will be used for the cronies.
I don't need a $700 potato chip when a $90 one will do nicely.
What concerns me is all these high end tablets and smart phones store a ridiculous amount of energy in their batteries. They are one structural breach away from a very serious situation, yet look how well they aren't built.
A massively parallel computer (2048+ cores) with each core having suficient cache to eliminate most memory bottlenecks would give the same results as all that complexity
The problem is that "enough cache" is quite large, and you shouldn't be multiplying it by 2048 willy nilly.
It is the "campaigns" themselves that are the players. BREXIT comes up on a referendum and this creates a financial incentive, because some people/businesses are sure to significantly benefit from a BREXIT while other people/businesses are sure to be substantially hurt by a BREXIT.
Depending on the stakes of he game, some issues will have an absurd amount of money being used to "campaign" for one side or the other. The amount of money spent "campaigning" is a good proxy for the stakes of the game.
If a hundred million is being thrown at trying to stop a BREXIT then you can be sure that to the people throwing that kind of money around its worth a bit more than a hundred million to them.
The real disgrace, I'd say, is that such an issue garners such high stakes. It indicates a vast amount of both past and future corruption.

It's kind of how like countries that put 'Democratic' in the actual name of their country are anything but.
There even a political party like that. They put 'Democrat' in the name also. Most recently they ran a rigged primary.
Is it working, or are they complaining?
You seem to think that you get to claim both. Sure, you get to. It just means people can quickly decide that your theories are idiotic nonsense.
P.S. Medicare is about to go bust and its not a surprise.

You choosing to make litter in a place with no easy disposal is somehow the city's fault?
In the commons human nature is to litter. The city says you should not litter. Beyond asking nicely, what has the city done to modify human nature?
Advice for all investments, not just shorting.

Very few days over the past year has TSLA been above $360, so the way you have said it, it sounds like you are full of shit.
Are you sure you didnt mean to say something different? If not, why didnt you say what you meant?
Either very sloppy or very dishonest. Does it matter which you are?
Thats not what secured means.
.. what you are talking about is a secured loan maybe.. but why the FUCK would you be talking about those?
Secured does not mean that the money is committed to anything other than being where it is, and absolutely does not mean "irrevocable"

The example of Venezuela doesn't show the failure of central planning. A trained hamster could do a better job with central planning than Maduro does.
This is the with the right leader it would work! argument and it is complete bullshit.

Dear To Whom It May Concern,
We would like you to spend your profits to help our efforts. Its the moral thing to do. See you in court.
